Present and future designs of automobiles, light duty trucks, and heavy trucks are discussed. The analysis relates these hardware systems to the potential critical components of the Automated Highway System (AHS) vehicle. Communications equipment and electronic control hardware and software are reviewed in detail. Reliability and retrofit issues are analyzed. Fail-soft design approaches which could be applied to the AHS vehicle system are discussed. Vehicle technologies which are common to AHS and non-AHS systems are catalogued.
